FYI:  This is what we have in our app's instructions for building
Shapelib on MacOSX:


     For MacOSX:  Bill Owen, N2RKL, suggested the following for
     ShapeLib:

       "The shapelib Makefile wouldn't work out of the box, so I
       figured out what the important bits were and built them by
       hand:"

         cc -c shpopen.c
         cc -c shptree.c
         cc -c dbfopen.c
         ar cru libshp.a shpopen.o shptree.o dbfopen.o
         sudo cp libshp.a /sw/lib
         sudo ranlib /sw/lib/libshp.a
         sudo mkdir /sw/include/libshp
         sudo cp shapefil.h /sw/include/libshp/
